I always thought of Geldor and Lodar as "throwaway villains". Since they never had figures or never appeared again, they didn't seem important to me.

However, if fans want them, they shouldn't be denied.

Any shots of the interior pages?

Does't everone forget that Lodar was suppose to be Zodac. I forget how the story goes, but wasn't there some miscommunication between the writers of the comic, and that when they made up Lodar for the mini-comic, they should have been doing a mini-comic for an actual figure named Zodac that they didn't realized existed? This why I think there should be some connection between Lodar and Zodak Zur.

Yep, that was my thinking as well

As for the original story - yeah, it was just a coincedence that the mini-comic writer was using the name Zodac for a character. Some quick alterations where made when it turned out there was already a Zodac on the cards, turning Zodac to Lodar (you can even see the alterations - check out the L's and R's whenever Lodar's name appears).

Who would like a Lodar MOTUC figure?

I am curious as to how many MOTU fans would love to see a Lodar figure produced in the MOTUC line. Lodar is the awesome character from the mini-comic Slave City. He really gave He-Man a run for his money when they battled. He looks menacing and very intimidating. I think he would be more than an excellent addition to our collections. Mattel can produce this figure since they are have access to the mini-comics. I really hope we see this character given new life in the form of an action figure. Anybody we agrees with me please post so that Mattel may see the fans support for this awesome character.

I thought I would bump this thread thanks to the discussion about Lodar in Mike Bock's mini comic thread

Just a piece of info that I am sure a few of you heard on an earlier Roast Gooble Dinner podcast, Lodar was initially supposed to be Zodac. Mattel gave them the info that the main bad guy for the mini comic was to be a new character Zodac but failed to give a description.
The artists drew Lodar and named him Zodac. By the time the problem was noticed it was almost too late to fix it. They had to work some magic to make the 'Z' look like an 'L' and the 'C' look like an 'R' and thats how Lodar was born

The info may not be word for word exact but you get the gyst. I think it was the Episode 008/009 interview with Lee Nordling

How about a Lodar deluxe figure. He can come with some gigantic chains and a large net to capture He-man and Battle Cat. Then we can get some Kobolds as an army builder 2-pack. Slave City and Masks of Power were my favorite mini comics as a kid.

I would definitely like a Lodar figure. I remember that mini-comic and it was definitely a favorite. I also would like to see an army-builder of Lodar's minions! Those were creepy cool looking minions!!

I really feel like Lodar is on the way. He very much plays into that "all in" philosophy that MOTUC tries to maintain. He wouldn't require a great deal of new tooling and would represent a corner of established MOTU history that has yet to be immortalized in plastic.
He's such a cool looking design that I'd honestly be surprised if we saw him later rather than sooner.
